If a developer exported site data, how can another developer import it to their environment?

When a developer exports site data in Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC), the correct way for another developer to import that data into their environment is through the "Site Development > Site Import and Export" functionality. This feature is specifically designed for managing the data transfer process, allowing developers to import assets and configurations effectively.

Using this option ensures that all necessary steps and structures defined for import are followed, which helps maintain data integrity and compatibility with the target environment. The process typically includes validations and options for managing conflicts or overwriting existing data, thereby streamlining the workflow for developers when transferring site data.

Other options do not accurately reflect the designated process for importing such exported data. For example, "Site Development > Site Update" focuses on updating the current site rather than importing data. "Site Management > Data Transfer" may refer to different operations not specifically tailored for incoming site data. "Site Dev > Import Site Data" sounds relevant but is not the official terminology used in SFCC's documentation for this process.
